WARRIOR Rhythm

 This announcement is overdue, because i wasn’t ready. I was tangled up emotionally in the loss of my Master Trainer role/closure of Beachbody Live operations which I posted about, only once, a couple of months ago. 
Soon after that announcement I went to a yoga class feeling sadness like a burnt coffee aftertaste. I was silently sulking in my loss of identity (ego), chewing my bottom lip about the impending dip in income and worrying about the hundreds of instructors I’d trained over 6 year’s time. 
I wore all that into that studio like a coat that didn’t fit me quite right. 
The yoga teacher talked about how we sometimes need to give something up to grow in new ways. It was the right message and the right time. Even though I didn’t give anything up- I had something I was devoted to...disappear- I figured: same difference. 
I decided that very Sunday night to EXHALE ... and relinquish my pride about the loss of title and to dismiss my apprehensions  and to “lean into” (an expression only those as obsessed with Brene Brown as I am say) the fact that there would be more room, not just on my calendar, but in my soul. And almost as immediately as I had silently made new promises to myself oxygen rushed in . My creative side and my entrepreneurial side combusted. 
So. 
I’ve created a fitness program. It’s called @warriorrhythm and it’s for all my rowdy, awkward, yoga-ish friends that just wanna work harder and calm down more all that the same time. And it’s definitely for those who don’t care about matching socks literally or metaphorically. 
Live class Tuesday’s in Eugene, OR. 
 1st VIRTUAL CLASS available now. 
Thank you for all you support. I love you guys.

A Decade Passed

1/1/2020

12/31/2019 commemorates the end of a big decade for me, and I’m sure for you too.  Here are the benchmarks I’ll share, some for the first time:
☑️Watched my babies become adults.
​☑️Started and finished a full, Japanese style body suit tattoo. 
☑️Rescued two dogs. 
☑️Bought a house. 
☑️Stopped living for the approval of others, chiefly my Pops. 
☑️Watched my marriage go from failing to flourishing. I fought. He fought. We both prayed. And it worked. 
☑️Cheered as my husband become sober- so sober. 
☑️Opened and closed a 6 year long Master Trainer career-and with that gained incredible professional experience beyond anything a university could have provided -and I picked up a few best friends across the map.
☑️Was featured in some pretty cool videos. 
☑️Almost became Inked Magazine Cover Girl, but lost at the top 10. 
☑️Built a successful at home supplement and online fitness business. 
☑️ Became a lululemon Ambassador.
☑️Started running the largest fitness program in Eugene, OR
☑️Got a passport and put a few stamps in it.
☑️Sat with my best friend and held her hand when her husband died. Learned that saying nothing was the best thing to say.

In my next decade I want to:
  • Take more naps. 
  • Watch my kids fall in love, and maybe start their own families. 
  • Read fewer books about business and personal development and more novels. 
  • Have more sex. 
  • Do more yoga. 
  • Pet the animals all the time
